  • Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial
    Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial Print Page The Curve Master Presser Foot sews curves with no pinning or clipping. It also sews a perfect, scant ¼” seam and eliminates the problem of trailing off at the bottom edge, or getting triangle points in a wad in the needle hole. Sandra Chandler, the inventor of the Curve Master, with a curved pieced Drunkard’s Path quilt she has made in far less than half the time normally taken with the quartering, pinning method of sewing. Photo taken during our Three Day Retreat with Sandy held at our Warehouse during June 2008. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the two pieces used in a Drunkard’s Path Block. These are the two shapes which will be sewn together. A convex curve into a concave curve. Normally, a difficult seam to sew. Having the top straight sections level, align the beginning edges together. No need to mark the middle or fold the fabric to find the middle. No pinning at all. Note that the fabrics are placed together so that when you “flip them open”; they are aligned exactly as you want this edge of your block to appear. Hint #1: Sewing with the wedge shape on top gives you better visibility, but either on top is okay. Hint #2: If sewing a stiffer fabric (such as a Batik) with a softer fabric, the stiffer fabric is better to be on top. Place fabrics under the needle; lower the Curve Master Presser Foot, aligning the two fabric edges against the integrated, raised ¼” seam allowance guide of the foot as shown.
